Are there any good public transit options from the airport to downtown, or should I rent a car?</font>
To be fair, the Airport Transportation -- 28X express bus right from the airport to downtown -- is a good deal at $2 each way. There also is a special bypass that buses take, and depending on when you come in it can save 15-20 minutes or more.
Another event going on at the same time is the Three Rivers Arts Festival --
http://www.artsfestival.net/ . I've gone every year for several years and always find it enjoyable. It's downtown so you can easily hit it if going to the event.
Combined with the game, meeting Flyertalkers, Wings Over Pittsburgh, I hope others of you on the fence will come to attend. It should be a great time.
